A slightly gamer-styled desk that he sticks with for its solid steel build, smooth height adjustment and clever magnetic cable management.

Foldable forearm rests that help keep arms at the right angle and feel comfortable.

An active-sitting wobble stool that stops him slouching and nudges him to take breaks.

Annoyingly expensive for what it is, but the best balance board he has used for making standing more bearable.

Nice finish and clever self-opening spring, but too small to hold even a can.

A good idea for staying active while working, but loud under load with a fiddly safety tag and a big footprint.

An incredibly squidgy yet supportive chair that felt fantastic from every angle.

Vikkstar's very expensive chair, comfortable enough to sit in for hours.

A roughly £30 Ikea desk that looks far more expensive than it is, with nothing online close on price.
